Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang - On the Sixth Day of Culture... May 2nd, 1952: Birth of Christine Baranski

Episode Date: December 17, 2020

There was Before the birth of Christine Baranski, and there was After the birth of Christine Baranski. And, God? Las Culturistas is so happy we all live in the After time. The two hosts of Las Cultch, Bowen and Matt, discuss Baranski's impact on both regular and Christmas culture, and run through her seminal work as Mary Sunshine, Martha May Whovier, and as whoever she plays in Mamma Mia! This day, Day 6 of the 12 Days of Culture, is one that will go down in history as the day a true consummate professional thespian was given to the world, and we are damn grateful. Name another legend! Also, isn't it fucked up that the person who is gonna do your autopsy one day is gonna see more of your body than you ever will? Have you been spicing up your quarantine with candles and scents? How's your skin? All this, and Matt and Bow find out where they stand in the vaccine line, on this celebratory and revelatory (hello!) episode of Las Culturistas. Listen....now! Augh!

Wow. Oh, and look over there. Wow, is that culture? Yes. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Las Culturistas. Ding dong. Las Culturistas. Ding dong.

Las Culturistas calling. Matt just did air quotes. Like, yeah, right. Like, Las Culturistas calling. Why did you do this? I don't know. I just think that every episode, you have to find a way to make yourself laugh.

You know, you have to make a way to tickle yourself. Yes. You always keep it fresh, fun, popping. I try, you know, because I feel like, especially in the quarantine, because we are still, as of recording date,

in quarantine for the coronavirus pandemic. For those of you sort of looking back at this episode from years in the future, every single day we are waking up

and it's very sort of bad and the same and you have to find little ways of tickling yourself. Like, for example, Bowen, what's one thing you've done every single day, a little bit fresh to sort of freshen up your quarantine life and perspective? I will like make a little bouquet of candles. It might not be very safe, but I'll put the candles close to each other on the counter and all their scents will mix together. And it smells like a little potion brewing. Oh, I love that. Like experimenting with scents.

That's really cool. Yes. Well, I similarly am experimenting with scents. Today, I bought a Frasier fur candle to make it smell a little bit like Christmas in here. Oh my God. I love that. It is smelling a little bit like Christmas in here. And I'm trying to get like a humidifier in my goddamn apartment because my skin is dry as fuck so every single day i'm sort of trying something new to make sure that

my skin isn't um falling the fuck off i uh continue to struggle with my eyes your skin looks great thank you i am i'm using the hawthorne products but just like i don't know what it is like my eye just feels very dry you need need the warm compress, hun. I think you're right. I need a boil, a soft towel. That could work. That could work. Boil, soft towel.

You think it's too much? I think dry is your best bet. Really? Because, well, who knows? I just feel like the rice in the sock truly is the best solution. You should buy a little bit of rice tomorrow. it in a sock tied up i guess i gotta go go get that oh wait hans okay hot head of content hans says you need to listen to the two-part series on skincare on poog hosted by jacqueline novak and kate berlant on the big money players network yeah but can i ask you a question

yeah he wants to plug it but hans are you actually making a real suggestion or am i going to turn on poog with kate berlin and jacqueline novak and all of a sudden it's a goofy podcast okay are they are the girls going to be giving me real opinions on skincare or is it going to be like you got to put the devil's poop on your skin because those girls they have very eccentric senses of humor he says no i did i don't just want to plug poog on the big money players network hans he's just he's hijacking the system they're going to give you real advice with the blend of their signature brand of comedy that sounds like an ad sounds like an ad you know what you know what jacqueline said on poog

what did she say she said isn't it crazy well she she's like, it upsets me that we can't see inside of ourselves. That the only way you can see is like, you can't like look at your own organs. Isn't that sad? It's like you're on a balcony in a building and you can only, you can't turn around. Well, you know,

what's really fucked up. One day we're going to have people giving us our autopsies and they're going to see parts of us that we never got to see. And that was my shit. Like these are my lungs. Why do you get to see what's inside of them? It makes me literally so mad that we will lose consciousness after our death. It makes me so mad. It makes me so mad.

I don't want to scope in my body ever. If it comes to that for health reasons, fine. But I don't want other people seeing inside me until I'm dead because at least I can take comfort in the fact that my insides are mine until I die but while I'm alive I don't want someone else to see parts of me that I never can

I never have so what if you were able to have a little television which is actually really common while they scoped you and you could see at the same time what was going on on the insides? You're not curious? I need that to be private. I can't have that shared thing with someone else.

Maybe just you and a scope alone in a room. Yes, but I don't know how to work it. And I'm not going to learn. I don't think you're going to learn either. I just think maybe when i die one day let's just say this like let's have this episode be like sort of like a working will um don't even just skip the autopsy and cremate me immediately don't even check to see if i'm really dead if it seems like i'm dead cremate me seriously scatter my ashes bury my heart at wounded knee

oh my god first of all slay slay but where would you want your ashes spread this is an interesting thing i don't know the duplex the duplex i would want my ashes to be, I can put them in the East River. Ooh. Put them there. With the rest of the trollops. Yeah, I don't need to, I don't need to be, it doesn't need to be anywhere special for me. You know, all this talk of death reminds me of birth. And it is the sixth day of culture.

And on this episode, we are really celebrating an important figure in the culture. Because this person is evergreen, but seasonal. And that's power. That's power. This person, I've never seen this person sell out anything she's ever done once. No. She always wants to deliver. She has never not committed herself to anything she's ever done in her life.

On the sixth day of culture, it was May 2nd, 1952. Birth of Christine baranski there was the great before and there was the great after okay a thriving world caused the creation of christine barans her parents, whoever they were, made love to each other and they conceived a child. That child would go on to bring joy to millions, maybe billions of people. I think billions. I think billions.

What is your favorite Christine Baranski moment? I have to say, I never watched the good wife, but I will say that my favorite Christine Baranski, I just want to say that like, I I'm not working with like the full. So you're not working with like a full Christine Baranski deck, but I really fell in love with her in Chicago. Mary sunshine,

Mary sunshine really fell in love with her in Chicago. Thought, who is that woman? I've seen her before. Yes, she was that woman in another, a beloved Christmas movie that maybe I'll let you name. But the beloved Christmas movie where she played a who? Oh, was that after? Was Chicago, I guess Chicago was after the Grinch.

Chicago was after the Grinch. Chicago was after the Grinch. Oh, wow. So I didn't even make that connection. The versatility. So when you said she was in a beloved Christmas classic from before Chicago, I was like, oh my God, was she? But no, you were just referencing her incredible performance as Martha May Juvier,

the hottest female up in Whoville, as it were. Because Grinch was 2000 and then Chicago's 2003 wow yes and I here I was thinking I was literally gonna say my introduction to Christine Baranski was understandable understandable yes it's perfectly understandable but then that would be incorrect. No. Because I, of course, was inspired by and moved by Ms. Martha May Juvier. Truly a gorgeous woman, Martha May. Sex symbol.

Sex symbol. Can you imagine being Christine Baranski, a treasure of the American musical theater, of television, of film, and then also look like that in a silly Dr. Seuss costume. Yeah, smoke show. It's not fair. It's just not fair. Christine Baranski. And be so wonderful in Mamma Mia.

Oh, my God. The goat. She is the goat. Christine Baranski is the goat. It's time to say that. Christine Baranski is the goat. It's time to say that. Christine Baranski is the goat. I mean, look at her. I'm just looking at these photos of Martha May Juvia.

Her in that blue coat. You can't beat that robe, that blue robe. That's what I meant. Yeah, the robe. She's also iconic in, well, the good fight, obviously, is like her spinoff spin-off spin-off of the good wife and she has continued to slay did you know that she's a two-time tony award winner what did she win for she won tony awards for best featured actress in a play

for the original broadway production of the real thing and Rumors, 1984 and 1989. This is a Tony winning actress from the 80s. For decades, she has been slaying. She is. Like a true, like, have you ever heard of like, oh, Christine Baranski? What a pill. She's kept it together, which is not to say that like, you know, people who have any issues or who play them out publicly like are, you know, less fun, less likable. But Christine Baranski, she she has stayed on her own course in life.

Yeah, she's here to remain. And also, did you know little known so we we know her because she's an icon in um of course martha martha may who va's vehicle the grinch uh people think it was a jim carragher vehicle but it was really a martha vehicle it was a christine baranski film um so there's that then there's of course christmas in the square which we recently discussed on the podcast with friends of the show, Mitra Juhari and Joel Kim Booster. Iconic. She doesn't sell that out for a second, which you pointed out, and I'm so happy that you did. Sister?

Thank you, sister. She also plays Mila Kunis' mother in A Bad Mom's Christmas, her overly critical, harsh mother. I haven't seen it. I have to watch it tonight. Well, I like Bad Moms. Like for real. I think, did you and I see it together? That sounds right.

And I think we really enjoyed it. We had actually a great time. Catherine Han, Mila. Yeah. Yeah. And who's the third one? Kristen Stewart? Well, no, there's Catherine Han, Mila Kunis, and God.

And then there's Christina Applegate is the villain. Christina Applegate. It's a Christian. When I said Christian Stewart, I meant Kristen Bell. Kristen Bell. Yes, of course, Kristen Bell. And so they're joined by Christine Baranski in A Bad Mom's Christmas. And in A Bad Mom's Christmas, I guess she sort of does her thing

of playing a very austere person who lightens up. And she's so perfect for that. We've seen Christine Baranski do it a million times, and you still, you want more. You want more. You know what? We do want more. I have the sound of her voice so indelibly in my soul of her singing. A convent girl, a runaway marriage.

Now tell us, Roxy. Who's Fred Casely? She really is my childhood. Christine Baranski is my childhood. Don't ruin my childhood by not loving Christine Baranski the way that we are on culturistas. I'm going to sneeze. I do. My God.

And I tried to sneeze with a sort of Christine Baranski and you, and it came across like, she does have like energy, you know what I mean? But, but she, but it's, but it's like, it's elegant. Yeah.

Look, what is that? Like, how can she keep it all so, like, she opens, she leaves herself so open to every possibility. That is the beauty of Christine Baranski. Yes. Should we go through her many awards? Yes. She has won a Screen actors guild award a couple times she won it for chicago and she won it for the birdcage amazing cast amazing cast

okay let's just talk about the fact that she won an emmy award for playing the role of Marianne Thorpe in the show Sybil. Oh, Sybil. Okay. Let's just talk about the fact that she was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series on the show Frasier.

And The Big Bang Theory. This woman can do it all all she got four nominations for that role then she gets nominated for supporting actress in a drama series five years in a row for the good wife give it up give it up this is consistent queen consistent queen oh my god you could never you could never and look she was married to the actor matthew cowles from 1983 to 2014 when he tragically passed away she has raised two daughters and she has just kept she has just kept them alive kept them alive that is award worthy and to raise children and keep them alive in a world that's as rambunctious as today honey my hat is off my hat is off and that is that is a word i would use to describe the state of the world

rambunctious it is a rambunctious world out there. And you know that's true. We live in such a rambunctious time. This woman has been in everything. Did you know she hosted SNL? Yes, with the musical guest The Cure. The Cure. How iconic. That is cool as heck.

I would gag if she came back and would host now. Would you think they would ever have Christine Baranski back to host now? I think, why the hell not she has stayed in the culture she's bigger than she was when she was on sybil i think that was around the time when she was when she hosted was she was known for being on sybil but now you're just like oh you mean multiply emmy nominated. She was nominated Multipli. Multipli. Okay.

She's only gotten bigger. We've only gotten to love her more as a nation and as a culture. She slayed it into the woods. She was Cinderella's mother. She really was like the original supporting actress queen, the original Judy Greer.

The original Judy Greer. But now, I think she's having, I think she's having a real new Renaissance Christmas on the square. I mean, I really, I don't know what happened there, but I like my respect for her just to really shot up higher than I even

thought higher than it could go. Yeah. Did you know that she recently was performing a video game voices in Steven universe? I saw she played the role of Hessa night. I love that. I play Hessa night. That's me as Christine Browns,

gay telling someone the role she plays. I'm doing an amazing new video game and I play the role of Hessa night. It's called Steven universe, save the light. And it's really fun. It's something so different for me and playing the role of hassanite is it's easy for me because she's a mother too you know she's a mother and a sister i relate to her in these ways and more

Finally, a show for the mentally ill girlies. On Basket Case, I talk to people about what happens when what we call mental health is shaped by the conditions of the world we live in.

But if you struggle to cope, the society that created the conditions in the first place will tell you there's something wrong with you. And it will call you a basket case.

Can we just give it up for Matt Rogers? He can do it all. He can do it all. He just did an amazing Christine Baranski impression. I'm laughing.

He can do everything. I truly, I bow to you. I exalt you. I bow at your feet. Stop it. Get up. Get up. Get up now. You look weak. You are the Christine Baranski of comedy, I think.

That's like sucks for Christine Baranski. I think she's the Christine Baranski of comedy. Do you think that Christine Baranski in her like shorthand is like, well, I'm a comedian. Or she says, no, no, no. I'm an actress. I'm an actress. I am not a creator i'm not a creator

i'm sure she's told her daughter lily cows that she's an actress let's see her wikipedia says american actress and singer doesn't say comedian i don't i don't know i did you know she went to juilliard wow this all just keeps sort of rolling back her her she is like the Charizard of you know uh of a Jane Krakowski maybe who is the Charmeleon and then a Josie Tota who is the Charmander wow yeah Josie becomes Jane becomes Christine that actually makes a lot of sense I do see like does that make sense I think that Christine Baranski is an evolved version of Jane Krakowski. Yes. And Jane Krakowski,

but like they've, they've, they've come up in different ways, but they have similar backgrounds. And I know Josie maybe isn't like Broadway. It doesn't have like the stage. Yeah. But tell,

tell her she can't tell her. She can't tell her. She can't. And the way that people like Josie are sort of making themselves known and love to us it feels very similar to jane krakowski alan mcbeal into 30 rock into you know what she does now and christine i feel like has been like doing the same kind of work where everyone's just on the same page about it they're like that that one that actress is amazing and she can play this fun

she can play all these fun characters and sing? Oh my God. I approach every role the same. With compassion. It's these, it's her, Christine and Jane have that slight British inflection in their voice and that's... It's the theater.

It's the theater. It's the theater. It's that 30 Rock joke where Jenna goes, the reason I have some slight British inflection in my voice is because i lost my virginity to the my fair lady sound i also love not to make this like a uh oh rama of 30 rock jenna lines but really my one of my favorites is when she says that she went to the Royal Tampa Academy of Dramatic Tricks. Yes. So good. The Royal

Tampa Academy of Dramatic Tricks. Just really deeply layered. And the running gag that Mickey Rourke has like out to kill her. You're getting married. You're winning awards. These are my things next you'll

tell me mickey rock catapulted you into the hollywood side honestly i've been re-watching 30 rock it stayed good the entire time like people talk about how like oh there was a dip like whatever like it just maybe it wasn't as exciting, whatever. No, it stayed that good throughout. Well, by the time it got to the harsh middle of season three, it became a cartoon, which we love and welcome, which,

which, which like defined a whole style of writing for like Kimmy Schmidt into great news into now saved by the bell. It's like, that's like, we need, I love sitcoms like that that are just joke bags. Yep. It's all I want really. It's kind of

interesting. Right now I'm watching an education. I'm watching a teacher. An education is very different. I'm watching a teacher and it's a half hour. I guess I'm watching it and I'm like, here's the comic block. watching something that's like so dark be presented in like like the three-act structure of like yeah a sitcom is so odd 30 minutes is my preferred length for anything tbh

yeah so what that's the dragon quibi no no that's to say russian doll got it right where it was not really a it was a drama kind of a thriller comedy drama thriller mixing tones but 30 minute episodes and i was like this is heaven i think they probably still consider that a comedy in the room right but like we're making dramatic performances we're making comedy here that's what they all say to each other we're making comedy here another one that natasha leone another versatile queen you know it's these it's these new york women and christine baranski is a new york woman yes juilliard pedig. Juilliard Pedigree. Juilliard Pedigree.

Should that be a good drag name? Juilliard Pedigree? It doesn't really reference a phrase. So no. Wow. It's so easy for you to say no to me. I was just complimenting you for your Christine baranski impression

what are you most excited about in life right now i'm most excited um about the vaccine to be honest i can't wait for that vaccine for that needle to puncture my skin i bet you're gonna get it first time no i'm not i'm i i do that new york times tool thing where you find your spot in the line. Oh God. No. Where were you in line? I was like,

there's like, there's like 200 million people in front of you. So when, when do they, what do they guesstimate on this thing that you did? Wait, what is this? I want to do it now.

Like, how do I, um, it's the, it's the New York times vaccine, vaccine line tool. Vaccine tool. Okay, interesting.

Are you on like a black page? Yeah, and I just want to say that this is an opinion piece. All right, so it's opinion. So how old are you? 30 years old. What county do you live in? Los Angeles. Do you work in any of these important professions

healthcare worker no essential worker no first responder no teacher no none of these do you have covid related health risks no okay submit based on your risk profile we believe you're in line behind 144.1 million people across the united states when it comes to california we think you're in line behind 144.1 million people across the united states when it comes to california we think you're behind 15.2 million others who are at higher risk in your state in los angeles county you're behind 3.9 million others yeah okay so there you go so then they say if the line in california was represented by about 100 people this is where you'd be standing and they put me like halfway no like like halfway yeah interesting interesting but other people can have it before me that doesn't bother me at all yeah um what are you most excited about i would

say i'm most excited about wow this is bleak i don't i literally can't think of anything i ordinarily i'd be like Christmas. But you know what? I guess I am excited for Christmas because I am going to do a little get-together on Christmas Eve. Not big, obviously. And then on Christmas Day, I'm just going to have a little moment around my tiny little tree. I guess this year has been different

because you have to make Christmas nice for yourself. And maybe I'll do a Christine Baranski movie marathon. I think we have to make Christmas nice for yourself. And maybe I'll do a Christine Baranski movie marathon. I think we have to make the marathon today and give it to the readers before we leave. And then we have to watch them too. All right. So obviously The Grinch. The Grinch, Mamma Mia, and Mamma Mia 2.

Yes. Or either. You get to choose either because they're both giving you something different. But what are Christine Baranski's big starring roles though? Does she have them? This is the thing is she's been Judy Greer her whole career. The big one is Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square.

Is that her biggest role? That's crazy. Here's what I want. I want to try our best to contribute to an environment where Christine Baranski has a huge renaissance, even more than the one she's having now and she becomes not just a TV icon but

I want her to win an Oscar. I want her to have the E-O-T because I don't know if we can get her a Grammy but I think we can get her an Oscar. She's got two of the four. Why wouldn't she want to get a Grammy? She'll sing on an album for a musical. I don't know if that's how you win them right maybe she should play mama rose

oh my god she'd be a great mama rose well look she was part she starred in a best picture that counts for something for me it's like oh my god to be an actor in a best picture that's like a kind of a secret honor not a secret but it's like it's like you're that's part of your that's part of your work for forever you know it's like i was in the best picture that's pretty cool yeah and that was like well that was like well on into her career to be honest chicago yeah it was like you know after she had won a tony award like years and years before this is the longevity we need amongst the girls. Christine has kept it going. She knows.

Give her some flowers for that. Come on. She's got that killer instinct. I bet she could drink a stiff martini too, look you in the eyes and say, you have to have a killer instinct in this town. I can picture, I can see it. How many agents, assistants do you think she's been through?

Hundreds. Hundreds. Thousands. Doesn't remember a single one of them. No. picture i can see it how many agents assistants do you think she's been through hundreds hundreds thousands doesn't remember a single one of them no no they go up to her at a party christine hi i'm chris i used to work in amy's office i don't remember any of any of my manager's assistants i i couldn't be bothered you come and go so quickly If you were good at your job, I guess I would remember you. But if you want to make yourself useful now, you can tell me where the bathroom is because I can't find it in here. And they say, oh, it's literally right there. And she'd say, thank you so much.

As she'd walk off, she'd say, you have to have that killer instinct. Here's a tip. You want to make it in this town, develop a killer instinct. Only then will you make it. Now, where is the bathroom? And they say, again, right there. You are walking to it. It's the only door in here.

Right, right. Of course. Thank you. Think about what I said. I have to say, you're amazing. Amazing actor. You really embody Christine. I'd say you're amazing amazing actor you really embody Christine I have to say you're an amazing actor no you don't have to say it back I do you no no no no no you you have been Christine this whole episode you really channeled her spirit on this episode well that's a huge that's a huge

compliment um and also um I I thank you so much because to, to, for someone to say, I was giving Christine Baranski energy, that's really the highest praise. And this whole entire episode, this sixth day of culture has been a tribute to her. We love her so much.

And we love her. This is, you know, not a lot of the days of culture have been a little painful. We've gotten angry. Well, we've had to acknowledge that some of the days of culture, like are not good memories.

Like when we locked up Ghislaine. And I brought that in and I'm sorry, but this has been maybe the purest joyful episode episode of 12 Days of Culture so far. We just love Ghislaine so much. We love Christine. Right. And that's where we end. And I want to thank you for giving me the best day of culture.

We love you, Ghislaine. I'm Julian Edelman. I'm Rob Gronkowski. And we are super excited to tell you about our new show, Dudes on Dudes.

What is wrong with me? A show about the ways that mental illness is shaped by not just biology, swaps of different meds, but by culture and society. By looking closely at the conditions that cause mental distress, I find out why so many of us are struggling to feel sane, what we can do

about it, and why we should care. Listen to Basket Case every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. a podcast where we help dispense advice to our loyal listeners. Everybody has an issue. Everybody has something that they need help with. Right. And that's where we come in. Because our moms were cool moms. We like to think that we have inherited their maternal advice. And we try to just do some good.

Besides being comedians, we love to help. Guys, bring us your queries. They could be personal questions. They could be serious. They could be lighthearted. Yeah. But know this. We are here for you.

Yeah, you can find us wherever you listen to your podcasts or on the iHeartRadio app.
